$8.99 Bottle at Market Street Wine Shop uptown. Pours thick and completely cloudy. Light yellowish tinge to it. Pretty sure this didn’t come from a horse breeding facility, but it looks like it might have. Aroma of white rice, glue, fruit, coconut. Taste is smooth coconut and rice, light glue notes. Not my favorite nigori, but ok.

Bottle at a local sushi place. Probably a bad choice to pair with the sushi, but live and learn. Poured an almost entirely clear color with a very light hue of pink to it. Aroma is light sweet plum notes, a touch of pitted cherries. Flavor is a touch medicinal - it reminds me a bit too much of the flavoring put in cough medicine, drinkable though.

Bottled. Nose of oxidized rice, licorice. Estery oxidized flavor, caramel, vanilla, rice pudding. Decent enough, though a bit old it would seem.

Grabbed a bottle because while no good place to beer to go getting quality sake isn’t a problem. Pours light clear yellow. Nice semi sweet floral nose. Tastes of flowers, peach, vanilla, and alcohol. Warming finish. Very nice and I didn’t know Americans even made sake.

Bottle from the Coop in Davis. Clear orange/pink color with a few small bubbles. Nice plum aroma. Love plum. Medium body with no carbonation. Nice plumy/oily impact in the mouth. It’s a bit sweet, but it is so refined. I’d happily drown in a cask of this. It is so not beer. On the other hand I’d happily drown in a cask of Speedway Stout. Or Fullers Vintage Ale. Or Westy 12. But when it’s not beer, this is fun.

Bottle from Total Wine. Chilled; shaken. Milky white pour. Aromas of fruit and alcohol. Seems to be coconut and melon. Very smooth mouthfeel. There’s heat. It’s creamy. Very mild fruits and arguably floral esters. Suggests tropical fruit juices. Finish is smooth and warm. One of the more palatable sakes I’ve had. Perhaps this one is for beginners.
